A new Google Maps version has been released for the Android users and just as usual it comes with some cool new features.
Updated search results page
The new version of Google Maps have been redesigned to give you all the information in one page rather than having you to switch tabs. Tap the new buttons to see the place on the map, get directions, call it, or see it with Street View. The extra space lets to bring details and reviews right up front.
Swipe for more results
Sometimes a single page result won’t do it for you. Well then you gotta scroll through pages. And yeah, no tapping, just grab the page and swipe it left or right. The next/previous results will be loaded. Could it be anymore fun searching ??
Latitude Widget and Live Maps Wallpaper
Wouldn’t it be nice if you could quickly find your nearest friends or glance at the traffic conditions around you without opening Maps? Add the Latitude widget to a home screen panel to see your nearest Latitude friends by pressing the “Menu” button from the home screen and selecting Add > Widgets > Latitude. On Android 2.1+ phones, you can also turn your home screen into one big, updating map using the Maps live wallpaper. Press the “Menu” button from your home screen and select Wallpaper > Live wallpapers > Maps. Now you can see nearby friends or a map each time you open your home screen.
Use Multiple Accounts
So if you have multiple IDs, then this is really handy for you. You can choose to add more accounts and switch between them easily. Features like Google Buzz, Latitude, Starred items, My Maps, and more can then begin using whichever account you’ve chosen.
